  • To be fair, everything out of his mouth is a lie. He told us he was going to do many things.

  • I actually ordered an adjustable/standing desk. They shipped via FedEx on the 21st and FedEx emailed me saying it was coming today. Did it show up? Nope. Never even moved from the initial location. Now they emailed me that it's coming tomorrow. It might, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Honestly I hope it doesn't come because it's only the top of the desk and not the adjustable base so I'm going to have a 48" x 24" table top just sitting around without the base.

  • It's always "Fuck you, I got mine." All these white women that complain about DEI despite being the ones that benefited the most from DEI are just stupid.

  • The only problem I have with FedEx is that they routinely bait and switch me with delivery dates. Something will ship on Wednesday. I'll check the tracking on Thursday and it will say that it's coming Tuesday. Cool. On Sunday, they'll email me and say the package is going to be delivered on Monday. Then Monday comes and goes and the package is never on the truck for delivery and then they'll say it's delayed and coming Tuesday. Like why are you making yourself look bad? Don't tell me it's coming a day early just to then fuck that up. You're going out of your way to piss me off at that point.

    UPS on the other hand will just tell me a package is coming on Tuesday and low and behold, there it is on the delivery truck on Tuesday.

  • The SteamOS era is imminent: Valve adds a new compatibility rating for games that’ll run on ‘any device that’s not a Steam Deck’

  • Because they might think they need to use the terminal a bunch when in reality they don't. They might have the wrong impression about how much terminal work they need to do and use that incorrect information to make a decision. I'm saying they could have wrong information to make a decision which would be an uninformed decision.

  • And not wanting to learn to do basic things on a computer made companies put everything on rails and then once everything was on rails, they could just take control away from you. I don't know how many times working in an office people would be completely ignorant of how to use their computer and be completely fine with it. Like this is your career and your livelihood and the tool that you use daily to get the job done. Learn how to use it and not just the steps to "point and click at certain things" and when it doesn't do exactly what you want you give up.

  • That could be the reason why someone is going that direction though even if it's not an informed decision.

  • they are somehow crazy good at messaging.*

    They are good at messaging because their base is so monolithic. For the most part, it's religious (mainly christian/protestant/catholic/whatever), straight, white people. There's so much common ground among them that you can pick a couple issues and make a boogeyman out of them. They've been doing it for years. Abortion was a big one, then it was same sex marriage, then it was immigrants, then it was transgender people. Not to mention the cable news propaganda arm that feeds them the lies. But for democrats, the base is so wide that it becomes hard to cater a message that applies to everyone. So there's positions that you have to take that don't apply to your entire base and sometimes that ends up fragmenting them and making it hard for people to get out and vote because people vote on their own self interest. Its why it was so frustrating when people were going to not vote for Kamala because of views on Palestine as if 1) Trump was going to be any better and 2) as if that was the only policy that mattered. Democrats need to stop trying to reach the other side of the aisle and reach the people that agree with them and get them out to vote by having inspiring candidates, not just milquetoast politicians that are going to try and be moderate. If the right takes 10 steps further right and democrats take 2 steps right to try and appeal to them, the middle ground has now moved further right which isn't inspiring to your supporters on the left. And then you start to alienate them.

    White women getting pissed about DEI is the craziest to me because they're the ones that benefited the most from DEI.

  • Dumb terminal concept was more what Chromebook was doing.

    I mean, for a lot of people they're fine especially if they're priced appropriately. Especially with a lot more software as a service out there. My problem is that all of them have a built in drop dead date on when they're going to stop getting updates and there's not really a great option for the devices post ChromeOS.

    ChromeOS certainly can be a good system. I still have my old CR-48 from when I got selected to test the OS and even when it was in its infancy, it was solid. I used it for a lot of my college career because it was better than my Asus eeePC which had Ubuntu on it.

  • A completely useful compulsion I have.

  • Then you don't have teenagers that are taking eggs from the carton to make scrambled eggs at 10pm. They happen to put the eggs back in correctly because they need the sturdy side to handle them. I don't need to teach them fractal patterns to take eggs out.

  • Or you just put the heavy end facing the door of the refrigerator so you always are picking up the heavy end and not the empty end. It should be that way anyways if you're putting the eggs in the fridge because you'd also want to be holding the stable end of the carton and not the empty side.

  • Building off of this awesome and thorough response. There are some games that you might need a different version of Proton for everything to work right. I had issues with Blue Prince not being able to see any videos that played during the game. With Proton-GE, that is solved. So there might be a little adjustment and tweaks that need to be done but I've found everyone in the Linux community more than happy to help.

    As to your comment about security vis-a-vis open source software. I think that comes from an inherent misunderstanding about what open source software is because I had a similar thought when I was younger. If a program is open source and you can see all the bones of the software, you can see the code and know how to hack it. That was my thinking at least. But the security comes from having everyone able to view the code and patch out vulnerabilities. Closed source just means that you might have the veil of security through obscurity where it takes a little time to have your bugs exploited.

  • Both have their pros and cons. I miss my Westone 1 IEMs that I had back in college. My buddy's dog chewed them up. They were comfortable and super light, had great sound quality, a cord that wasn't obnoxious. Not having a cord is great though too especially when I'm working. Multipoint connection is great too. I can be listening to stuff on my phone with it in my pocket, no cable getting in the way, and when I get a call on Teams, my Pixel Buds just switch over to the computer.

  • Define Greenwashing

  • Yeah I did some digging and it seems well-intended but its just done really poorly and misleading. From what I can tell, because of the paper outer protective layer, they were able to use a lighter plastic layer on the inside layer reducing the amount of plastic used. If not for the plastic on the inside, I don't know how you'd really keep the bottle from disintegrating from all the liquid inside.

    I do think that they were lying about not seeing how people could misinterpret what they thought they were saying with the bottle. Obviously some people are going to look at something saying "This is a paper bottle" and think that means the whole bottle is paper. I would've assumed some sort of chemical/hydrophobic coating on the inside which might not be great for the environment either. But them saying they didn't expect people to misinterpret it is dumb.

  • My only complaint is that tab is not an option to auto complete. It's infuriating as someone who works in Excel all day for work and then has some things to do at home in a spreadsheet and I type =vlook tab and then it switches to the next column. Let me autocomplete the formula to the next input! And they don't let you change it either. It's the most infuriating thing. It's why I refused to use LibreOffice for a while but the switch to Linux forced my hand. I like Libre Office more than Only Office.

  • McDonalds isn't a fast food company. They are a real estate investment company. Their former CFO said as much "we are not technically in the food business. We are in the real estate business. The only reason we sell fifteen-cent hamburgers is because they are the greatest producer of revenue, from which our tenants can pay us our rent." - Harry J Sonneborn
